Elaine as a Drama .

It's always very risky thing 30 ct
tempt to msterlalise the creations OF q
favorite poet or novelist. Lovers OF books
invariably form ideas of their own, and
these are exposed to the peril OF being
rudely upset by the well meant efforts,
bat commonplace ideas, of the ordinary
actor. With the works of the Laureate
OF England, and especially in the case Of
that series OF romantic episodes drawn
from the mystic Arthurian legends, and
called the Idylls of the King, the task
is attended with special difficulty. It is.
therefore, matter of sincere congratu-
Ia ion TO Mr.. Palmer and the very intel
igent ladies and gentlemen o. the Mad
ison Square Theatre that their perform

some strong work with his voice. bnt
some very unsatisfactory work with his
hands and arms. He is not at ali SYM
pathetic, AMI we liked him much bet
ter when he did the villains in former
days. His manner of saying Il am so
wretched," at Candles death bed last
evening, was much as if ne were in
curing whether there was any chance
of his securing a lease of the bath
house. Mr.. Cooper had.a very finished
makeup, and read his lines well, but
was rather stiff in his bearing. The
Count d'Varville OF Mr.. Spangler, was
quite wooden.
We shalt await with curiosity the
news of Madame ..Janish7s reception in
San Francisco; her acting has been so
different to anything we have been &C
customed to in the west, excellent as
much of it is, that We are at sea in our
conjectures as to the success she will
make. She calls on US late in June
when, if she comes with a new play
she ought to be made welcome.

Madame Jsuish looked out from be-
hind the curtain yesterday afternoon
and saw $4S worth of people in attend
snce.
The double string of diamonds that
the madame wears about her graceful
throat tells that money is secondary
consideration with her; at least her
share of $4S was not sufficient to induce
her to work through her part, and the
audience were requested to adjourn TO
tie box office. Madame Janish's Violets,
therefore, withered before their scent
Was ditfused abroad.
The Theatre management offered
no very determined opposition. Their
share OF the $4S would have been
in the neighborhood of SIP, and they
we're considerably ahead by not playing
Violets.
The $4S came back at night and 500

star and management, but probably as
good as could BE expected from the
length OF the engagement and the ven

Fashionabie Fad i'm Diseases.

The fashionable fad for diseases over
here, while waiting for insomnia to reign
supreme, is malaria. 1t supplanted in
digestion, just as indigestion supplanted
nerves. In France the moral or mental
result of this real or imagined fad is called
ennui, which is entirely ineligible,
though too Elusive to be confined to the
narrow limits of translation or definition.
Physicians encourage the idea of malaria.
It agrees with the preconceived theories OF
patients. 1t lays the blame on locality or
plumbers and takes the blame off the in
dividual's late hours and Incorporate
meals. 1t puts the responsibility on cir
cumstances and acquits the patient. 1t
impeaches nature and excuses the non-ob-
servance of her laws.
Apropos of malaria an assembly over
here, equally composed of physicians and
clergymen, was startled by an after din
ner speaker whom they would call out the
other evening, when he gravely described
malaria as the cause of all diseases and
deliberately showed, to his own satisfaction
at least-and backed it with many plausi'
BILE arguments-that of malaria the cause
was poor preaching! He drew parallel
between the symptoms of malaria and the
various conditions and attitudes through
which man went in going to sleep in
church. The prevalence of malarial com
plants in country regions where the
preaching is poor and summer visitors
abound, was dwelt upon. When the
speaker finished it was difficult to tel
whether the clergymen or the doctors
were more laughingly ndignant.-Brook

As I was hurrying along Pierrepont
street one wet and chilly evening some
time ago I was arrested by low and
plaintive voice, and came near running
over its owner. He was O diminutive
urchin, too small and apparently too
young to sell newspapers on a bright
afternoon, still more after dark in a
storm. His story, gathered with some
difficulty from his half articulate speech,
was that he had two papers still unsold
and that he could not go home until he
had disposed of his entire stock. An en-
treaty to purchase the soiled and half
pulpy remnant melted into tears. AS the
poorly clad, shivering little fellow stood
in the rain, offering his merchandise and
his narrative, the spectacle was pitiful
one, even for the most hardened observer
of the devices of the highway. / asked
him where he lived, and told him would
give him quarter if he would promise to
go straight home. He closed with the
proposal at once, and, ostensibly, at least,
went according to his agreement. But
where did the money go?
Since the interview above described
have met the same young person several
times, in about the same place, beneath
cloudy skies or under the effulgence of
the brilliant moonlight of balmy june
evening. The same residue of daily
journals has clogged a sluggish market.
The same voice has been heard, with the
same tears in it. The same impossibility
of rejoining the domestic circle until q
complete clearing out sale could be effect
ed has been reported. Candor compels
the acknowledgment that one thing has
been lacking to the duplication of the
scene; the quarter has not been agair

Fashion Plates for Idols.

will not say anything about the vari-
Gus religions of Japan, but that the Jap
anese cannot understand that a whole ma
ton should be without "poosah," one
of the idols Many of them believe that
we have our deities. There was friend
of mine at my home who, while riding
down a road, saw an old Buddhist priest
out in front of house calling wildly on
an idol Said my friend:
''What is the matter?''
''Oh," said the priest, ''there is a child
sick with bilious fever and we are trying
to cure him by the use of q new idol, just
from America
''You are mistaken" said my friend,
''our people do not worship idols"
'Well, was informed that you did,
and that this idol I have in the house is
the one you bow down to over there"
"Bring it out and let me see it," said
my friend with smile.
The old priest went up and brought out
one of Godey's fashion plates. thought
there was a great deal of truth in what
the old priest said, although had never
heard of Godey's fashion plates being used
for bilious fever before.-Missionary in
